The plate making unit performs plate making for the plate mounted on the outer surface of the plate cylinder. The plate making unit is supported to be movable between an operative position where plate making is performed and a wait position to escape from the operative position. The detection switch detects the plate making unit positioned at the wait position. The control unit controls plate change operation in accordance with a detection output from the detection switch.
